Scottishmoney Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 08/29/2007 07:51 am This 1919 issue of RSFSR note is referred to in the collecting realm as a Babylonian, because of all the languages on the note. This was the heady days of the "Internationale" and the Proletariat were going to rise against their "oppressors" and throw off the yoke of imperialism everywhere. Well that was how it was supposed to be, but things did not go according to plan, and the revolutions in Bavaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia etc. quickly fizzled. These notes did not last long in circulation either, the ruble quickly lost value, and these became worthless, along with a succession of re-valued rubles through the early 1920's. This note is worth about €2.50 or so. BTW there is not another Cyrillic language notation on there, the other Cyrillic is actually the anti-counterfeiting warning in Russian.
